What do we tell people in an unaffordable world dealing with the impacts of climate change when their jobs are gone? That they can't be a software engineer, or an artist, or an animator because we've taken that work - and money - and handed it to a chosen few when using their own labor to bootstrap it? This is how riots happen.
